Correct. The EQ behavior can be selected for each band individually, with a separate (and independent) knob to adjust the overall amount of phase shift--anywhere from linear phase to anything but.

Without getting too technical, linear phase EQ has the least possible coloration and allows for very transparent adjustments--but comes at the price of inherent latency. The upcoming EQ makes it possible to dial in the amount of phase shift to taste, but because of the way it works internally the latency will remain constant for all settings. I wish it were different but these are technical limitations, not incompetence. At least I like to think so.

Peace,
